Hear me share the book reviews on the No Higher Calling podcast!
Anne of Green Gables
By:
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You can’t help but fall in love with Anne! I read this to my children, and we could barely put it down. Even months after fininshing the book, we are still talking about it, and they are playing “Anne, Gilbert, and Diana”. A classic must-read for families!
Serving Well
By:
Elizabeth & Jonathan Trotter
This book was recommened to me by a missionary friend, and it is gold! I would recommened it to anyone who is preparing to serve abroad (or anyone who already is!) Quite a bit did not pertain to me just because of the country God has called us to serve in, but I still gleaned so much that I will continue to draw from throughout our ministry on a foreign field.
The Wind in the Willows
By:
Kenneth Grahame
Toady is quite the character! He had our entire family rolling with laughter. It also brought up some good conversations on foolish choices, selfishness, friendship, pride, and more.
But it was probably a 3 out of 5 star for me. There were several parts of the book that were very slow, and we struggled to pay attention. There are also many uses of a**.
Habits of the Household
By:
Justin Whitmel Earley
I love the author’s emphasis on bringing God into every aspect of even the most mundane parts of home and family. I believe that is exactly where God wants to be- woven into the very fabric that makes up your family! There are many practical takeaways. I have read much on this topic, and this wasn’t in my top favorites, but it still has good truth to glean from.
Trusting God
By:
Jerry Bridges
This book hits a nerve. How can we trust God? How can God be good, just, and soverign all at the same time? Why do bad things happen to good people? Many of these questions are ones we wrestle with throughout life. Author Jerry Bridges takes us to the Bible and shows us that God is trustworthy! No matter the circumstances or heartaches- He can be trusted!
Before Your Tween Daughter Becomes a Woman
By:
Robin Jones Gunn
Every mother with a daughter should read this book! Robin does a beautiful job of presenting the transition from girlhood to womanhood with grace and beauty. God’s incredible design for a woman’s body is highlighted and celebrated. She gives many practical ways that a mother can pass this message to her blossoming daughter. I hope to put many things I learned into practice in the coming years with my girls.
Ember Falls
By:
S. D. Smith
Eden and I are enjoying listening to this series on audiobook. Joel Clarkson reads it, and does a fantastic job of making the story come to life! We’ve loved following Heather and Pickett’s journey and seeing their characters develop through various complicated situations.
Teacher of Good Things
By:
Francie Taylor
Francie is a beautiful example of a Titus 2 mentor! I felt as though I was sitting at her table gleaning truth from God’s Word and her life expereinces. My heart was challenged to become more of the Christlike woman God desires for me to be, and to encourage others coming along behind me.
“The choices that you make today could become the pattern of someone’s tomorrow.”
Disclaimer: Just because I share a book that I have read does not mean that I endorse every word, ideal, and belief of the author. I seek to vet books before I read them, and I love recommending books that have been a blessing to me. That said, I would always encourage you to read with a “biblica lens” reading everything in light of God’s truth.
